It was a normal day for me and the kids, I don't even remember what we were doing, but that doesn't matter. I saw it, the order telling us that all residents were quarantined for the next 2 weeks.
I had heard about the virus that was starting to run rampant through the US, when I tried researching it more, there was a lot of mystery and botched information. Because the reporters in China were going missing. They would start to get someone when their research and then disappear, some of them never showed up again, others were found in hospitals infected with the same virus that they were researching, in such a critical state that the families were told they might not live through it.
I feel like I am now apart of a science fiction novel, living in a world that got turned upside down within a few hours. Soon after the quarantine order was issued all schools and bars were closed, church meetings were cancelled, and restaurants can only have carry out options.
As I read the different news articles I could feel my heart sink, the pain of loss started to creep into my stomach and left me feeling sick. With a large family full of little kids I never got out of the house often, when I did it was to parks and such, I didn't meet up with other friends, and I don't have a social life, with church gone I felt like my heart was ripped out, I felt like God did care for me.
Quarantine life feels like a normal day to me, I cook, clean, and take care of my kids, for the first few days I worked in our yard, getting it ready for spring planting, the hard labor took my mind off our the current world troubles, and excising my body felt amazing.
Quarantine sounds like most peoples dreams, being locked in their homes for days on end, but for those of us with kids, it feels like we may go crazy.
Lots of people have questioned if this virus was created by the government, while others say it is a act from God.
I guess only time will tell.
